New ways to edit: New Features in Lightroom Classic 14.4

This update deteriorated all the performance increases of the previous updates, terribly so. Going through denoised images takes up to 20 seconds with the view refusing to display any image other than the currently opened one.

Workflow in general has slowed down with huge CPU spikes when adjusting virtually anything before Lightrom 'settles in' on the adjustments. Opening Crop and Mask modules has the same lag, also causing a short flicker and shifting of the entire UI as the software redistributes the hardware resources, or whatever the hell it's doing - it's obvious that it's unoptimized and mismanages resources.

I have multiple nVME drives, 64GB RAM, a 12-threaded CPU and an RTX 3060Ti, up until this update everything was much faster and now I' feel like I'm driving an i3 with a full HDD and 8 gigs of RAM back in 2020.

You actually had an upward curve of optimizing performance and I enjoyed the recent updates (although tbh every single update states 'increased performance' and that's not really true, Lightroom has historically been sluggish and remains such).

Please stop forcing users to play russian roulette with updates and having to roll back every few months. It's a slow and annoying process and some of us have time-critical photojournalism work which doesn't mesh well with randomly deteriorating performance, waiting for an image to display for almost half a minute, and not being able to edit photos as the "non-destructive" denoising is underway - it's quite destructive to the workflow.

We can afford storage for the dng files, we can't afford lost time.

Io ho riscontrato grossi problemi con il pannello presentazione. Infatti i tecnici dAdobe mi hanno fatto tornare alla  versione 14.2. Qualcuno può dirmi come elaborare le immagini nella sezione riduzione rumore su un file più compresso per ridurre i tempi di lavorazione?

I updated to LIghtroom Classic 14.4 and love the new AI people and reflection removal features. However, other problems seem to be back.  

1. I have some User Presets to apply Auto plus various transforms like Balanced, level, etc. While the preset "previews" like it used to, I sometimes have to click on the preset several times to have it take effect. The Preset I chose doesn't appear under the little navigator window until I click on it a few times.
2. When I do chose the preset, and the title appears under the navigator window, the second monitor preview is updated, but the main preview in the Develop module does not update. I have to navigate forward to the next image, and then back and then it will update.
3. It seems like navigation between photos in develop mode is a lot slower. Sometimes if I go forward, and then back, it'll take two seconds for the image to switch in my Develop module.  I do have the preview on my second monitor (it's the only way while cropping that I can see the result live) and that switches right away, but the image in the develop module is what takes a bit to appear.

I have a Dell Alienware Aurora R15 with a GEForce RTS 4090 video card and Intel 13900K processor. The lightroom photos and catalogs are on a 4GB Samsung NVME SSD, so I doubt performance is the problem.

Any idea what changed? I did finally turn off "generate previews in parallel" and that might have helped just a hair.

I Love that LR finally supports Fujifilm tethering with my GFX 100s, it starts quickly, and live view and autofocus works beautifully, (Capture One disables AF in live view, absolutely infuriating!) It's great to have another option besides Fuji's Tether plugin. I have just one major bug that I found while using it:

There is an exact, persistent 5 second delay between pressing the shutter button in LR and the camera autofocusing (5 scrcond pause) then taking the shot, is there any way to get rid of this delay? It transmits the entire 100MP raw file into LR in less than a second when using the shutter on the camera or the Fuji App! Please can Adobe remove this unneeded 5 second delay?

Also it would be nice to be able to use the filenames from the camera directly instead of being forced into renaming to (DSCF0001) or a custom sequence, will be a major issue if I have to grab images from the memory card and ALL of the filenames are different!

Hoping these bug can be fixed in the next update! For now using auto-import and the Fuji App, adds a 5-8 second delay after the image is taken, oh well can't go back to the old plugin method without duplicating every image upon import!

I am not sure how Lightroom determines what is a distrction and what is not. I ran into a similiar issue with Camera Raw when I assume the feature was in Beta. Only 2 of the many people were selected. I'd love to have an "All People" option. This few a selection is really not as helpful as the "hype" suggest.

Yesterday I was using the Variance slider under the Point Color menu, today it is gone. Anyone else have that? It was super useful for portraits so I didn't have to open the file in photoshop to adjust unbalanced skin tones.

The update to the denoise feature initially seemed fine. However, I used to be able to denoise multiple files simultaneously before. Now I can only do one file at a time. Oh well, maybe next update.

I was used to just pressing Q and easily and quickly removing something with a single click of the remove tool. Now I have to press Q, mouse over to select "Remove" instead of Distraction Removal. This is very bad.

About Tether capture witn fujifilm cameras, Why hasn't the Fujifilm X-M5 been included?

It is fully compatible with Capture One, and I am testing it with the three months included with the camera purchase, and it is a delight for studio and product photography.
